Annie Proulx has written some of the most original and brilliant
short stories in contemporary literature, and for many readers and
reviewers, "Brokeback Mountain" is her masterpiece.
Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, two ranch hands, come together when
they're working as sheepherder and camp tender one summer on a
range above the tree line. At first, sharing an isolated tent, the
attraction is casual, inevitable, but something deeper catches them
that summer.
Both men work hard, marry, and have kids because that's what
cowboys do. But over the course of many years and frequent
separations this relationship becomes the most important thing in
their lives, and they do anything they can to preserve it.
"The New Yorker" won the National Magazine Award for Fiction for
its publication of "Brokeback Mountain," and the story was included
in "Prize Stories 1998: The O. Henry Awards." In gorgeous and
haunting prose, Proulx limns the difficult, dangerous affair
between two cowboys that survives everything but the world's
violent intolerance.
